    (USA specific) Depending on the state, "totaled" might still mean YOU can't fix and drive your car again. In Illinois, you can only retain a totaled vehicle if it was hail damage o…

    At the end of the day, when something looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck; it doesn't matter how much the nitty-gritty details prove the thing is absolutely no…

    The "smarts" of a smart tv is just spyware(adware) by a different name that actively subsidizes and reduces the cost of low-end TVs.

    What worked for me was convincing myself, deep deep down, that I don't want any alcohol to drink. It's just poison, addictive poison, that's provably bad for you with like no real …

    Lol. Drunk drivers are killers. People that text and drive are killers. People that get kicked by their kid and turn around for a second to yell at them are killers. I'll take an u…

    (I know you run out of people in real world teams pretty quickly but) rotating pairs regularly helps with this, with a maximum of two-week pairings to avoid this and other issues.

    There are other benefits, pair programming reduces a whole category of simple bugs/typos to basically 0, keeps people on task, offers (literally) immediate feedback. Unlike most pr…

    Do you drink a lot of coffee or other caffeinated drinks, especially later in the day? I used to think caffeine didn't have much affect on my sleep, until I cut it out. Old habits …

    I think you run a much bigger risk of a "West Coast" party in the FPTP system (looking at SNP in the UK). In a proportional system, California and the west coast is not pure blue o…

    I would set up each reporting unit (precint/causaus site) with their own sheet. There are probably only 5-10 officials per site that should even have edit access, maybe less, like …

    Minus the google being evil part, this entire operation could have been done in google sheets and would probably have gone 100 x better. With free robust revision history, permissi…

    There's other ways of manipulating the numbers too. I attended App Academy, but as an "auditing student" meaning I paid the same price and did the same work but, according to the i…

    This makes sense to me and rings true to my own experience. I went to a bootcamp and the people that did the best were those with a good deal of prior experience, and thus able to …

    I'll echo other replies and agree that we should put different people in prison, not more. I'd argue that white collar crime hurts more people than consensual and most violent crim…

    I live mostly in the front end world, but if I was asked this (without looking it up) I'd say a DB builds a tree (balanced tree, binary tree maybe?) using the columns requested. Th…
